Downpatrick’s Adam McKee goes on naughty 69 Road Trip to raise funds for PIPS Suicide Prevention
The 69 Road Trip in Ireland certainly picked up speed last week as Adam McKee from Downpatrick joined the other motorists who went for a ride around the corners of Ireland visiting 69 places with names that would make the faint-hearted blush.
Each car was driving for its own charity and Adam McKee was supporting PIPS Suicide Prevention.
So if you are of a sensitive disposition, if your mammy is looking over your shoulder, or you live on the moral high ground, DON’T read on!
The 69 cars drove through towns and villages with names that could be interpreted as very ‘rude’. But if you have a sense of humour and a big heart like Adam, you just have to laugh it all off and drive on to the next spot on the map… and laugh again!
Adam McKee, after driving from Muff in Donegal, Willyrogue in Lough Corrib on the West, Cockhill in Cork and Ballsbridge just a few miles from Slutsend in County Louth on the East, said: “What a weekend!
“We recently took part in the 69 Run around Ireland alongside an incredible group of people.
“We visited some of the most iconic (and cheekiest-named) places across the country for a cause that genuinely matters.
“Every car on the run supported a charity, and we were proud to choose PIPS Suicide Prevention.”
Adam reached the four corners of Ireland on his run and is still buzzing.
He said: “Thanks to the generosity of everyone who donated and supported us. We raised a total of £2,838.53, including Gift Aid.
“This contribution will go directly toward PIPS helping people in crisis, providing support, intervention, and hope to those who need it most.
